icewolf March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 Michael Socha describes his time on OUAT as "Soul Destroying" Fuck me, yeah. Massive, massive deal. When I first got there and did the spin-off [Once Upon A Time In Wonderland], I was working an awful lot. It was great to work in the green screen studios and all that sort of stuff. It opened my eyes and I got to see a completely different world. I got to see LA. I got to live in Vancouver for two years, eventually. But then I joined the main show and I wasn’t really used, so I found myself in Vancouver for a long time not really doing owt, which fucked me up a bit really. I thought, if I’m going to be here, fucking do something with me. I’ve got a boy at home and it’s crucifying me being here and not working. If I was here working, I’d feel I was doing something at least, but it kind of fucked me up a bit really. Wonderland was incredible, but Once Upon A Time, I found it quite soul-destroying. My mam came out for three months eventually because I just wasn’t doing owt. I found it sort of unfair. It wasn’t the fault of the powers that be, it was just the way the cookie crumbled I suppose, but I didn’t really enjoy it by the end.

legaleagle53 March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 To be fair, though, he did go on to say that he'd go back if asked to. He just felt that he had been lied to once he had signed up to do the main show (and I can't say I blame him for resenting the fact that his proposed storyline got permanently shelved). Apparently, he loved doing the spin-off.

Souris March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 (edited) Remember, this is why his story was dropped: EDDY KITSIS, SDCC 2015: “There’s just so many people that it’s like, it’s sometimes hard to do that story and sacrifice Regina’s story. That’s just showbiz.” Video. They had no business putting him on the main show in the first place, because Will's story was nicely wrapped up. But once they did, they should have used him. He had a grand total of 20 MINUTES of screentime in the season.

tennisgurl March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 I still get pissed off thinking of how much Will was wasted on Once. Wonderland wrapped up everything perfectly, but NO, lets drag him back because the fans like him, but instead of giving him something to do, lets just stick him in a not romance with Belle. And give him like three lines per every 3 episodes. Because, you know, we have to fit in endless, ENDLESS Regina angst. I am glad he seemed to have good feelings towards Wonderland. I really loved that show. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3828-the-storybrooke-daily-mirror-ouat-in-the-media-cons-and-other-real-life-encounters/page/59/#findComment-2033662

YaddaYadda March 8, 2016 Share March 8, 2016 Here's the thing, they knew they were doing Frozen when they filmed the last scenes of season 3, and they finish filming at the start of April. I don't remember when Michael Socha was announced, but I think it was a month or so after the finale. So they already knew they were doing Frozen, and I think they started setting up his story here and there, and some things made sense. I think they dropped it in favor of the QoD to be honest. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3828-the-storybrooke-daily-mirror-ouat-in-the-media-cons-and-other-real-life-encounters/page/59/#findComment-2034155

Arnella March 13, 2016 Share March 13, 2016 Just saw Barney Thompson - directed by and starring Robert Carlyle. Also starring Emma Thompson and another man I've been in love with forever, Ray Winstone. All three stars were brilliant but I can't see the subject matter being a big hit here in the US unfortunately. I kept noticing Robert's hair for some reason - it was too long for the character but, of course, he couldn't cut it because of OUAT. The movie is based on a series of books about a serial killer but they aren't quite Dexter-level so don't look for a sequel.
